The Kingdom of Auralon is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King Faustus with an iron fist, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, pith helmet sales, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 20.071 billion Auralonians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 95.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Auralonian economy, worth a remarkable 3,483 trillion golds a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 173,536 golds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The gravy train is chugging along on a new track, the saying "when pigs fly" has been changed to "when the lights work", diaper-wrapped shawarma is a fan-favorite, and it's a jungle out there. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Auralon's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Auralon is ranked 87,408^th in the world and 4,778^th in Lazarus for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,679.18 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
